Quotes from Student's

"I have learnt about things I wasn't expecting to learn about. The warmth of the enviroment encouraged me to push myself to try new things. It has more than met my expectations." 

Nell Greco-Proffesional Singer/Freelance Copywriter

"The amount of happiness, knowledge and confidence I have gained from Emilia's lessons and workshops is out of this world"-Natalie, (art student and semi proffesional singer). 

..."the advice given is presented in a very constructive and helpful way, which I really feel can help me improve..."

Nadiah-Emergency Physician/Proffesional Singer

"The course took me from amateur to being able to perform in a professional manner, in less than a week. Emilia was professional, creative and incredibly supportive of all her students on the course, getting to know each of us individually and developing us in our own direction. Best thing I've ever done in my life"  (Alice Finn)
